The BD681 is a high-voltage NPN Darlington Transistor in a TO-126 package. Designed for driving medium-power loads such as relays, solenoids and motor control circuits directly from logic-level signals.

 

BD681 Darlington Power Transistor – Medium-Load Switching & Relay Driver

The BD681 is a robust NPN Darlington transistor optimized for medium-power switching and amplification. Its high current gain (hFE) and TO-126 package make it ideal for automation boards, relay drivers and solenoid control, delivering reliable performance where moderate current and voltage handling is required.

Functions & Applications

  • High DC Gain (hFE): Darlington configuration enables direct logic-level driving of relays and solenoids.
  • Integrated Base-Emitter Diode: Built-in protection reduces external component count in typical relay circuits.
  • TO-126 Package: Moderate mounting area with good thermal contact, suitable for breadboard and PCB assembly.
  • Reliable Switching: Proven performance in automation, motor control and industrial switching applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the BD681 drive a 12V relay with a coil current of 200mA?
A: Yes. The BD681 supports up to 4A collector current, so 200mA is well within its limits. Always connect a flyback diode (e.g., 1N4007) across the relay coil to protect the transistor from inductive spikes.

Q: What is the complementary PNP Darlington part for BD681?
A: The complementary PNP Darlington transistor is the BD682, offering similar voltage and current ratings in the opposite polarity.

Note: Price refers to one (1) piece. The component is shipped in bulk without individual packaging.
